Intro

In the last fourteen years, I have worked within a broad spectrum of the technology field. At Veoh, we pioneered
online video and behavioral advertising. I've built and maintained four world-class software engineering teams at
Veoh, Active Network and Verve. I worked as a go-between, functioning as the integral link between the company executive needs and technological
development segment of the team. I have facilitated the companies vision and the technological expertise required,
into a functioning and successful end products.
